Stylish Beach Homes

Dawiburi Resort is Simply Elegant

There are not many private residences that can boast a sea view from not only the front but from both sides of a property. Dawiburi private resort has achieved this with a secluded seafront living complex of five individual units that catch the sea breeze and offer a serene view of the Gulf of Thailand's gentle waters.

This location was chosen for its quiet surroundings that capture the spirit of traditional Thai living and its affinity with the abundant sea whilst providing modern security and comfort.

The secluded Dawiburi properties are simply elegant modern Thai style homes, perched on a broad jetty protruding from the shore and surrounded by the incoming tide as it gently laps the beachfront; giving the privileged home owners unprecedented and uninterrupted views of Hua Hin's calm costal waters.

Panache property development has planned these five units to retain the practicality of houses designed for the tropics with a simpler, sleeker, modern look.

The lower areas are spacious and airy, divided by thick stone pillars. Sliding glass panel doors release the lower floor to the fragrant sea breeze.

The upper floor opens out in the same manner, onto a broad veranda, shaded by the overhangs of the simplified Thai style cotta roof, which sits atop a row of sturdy wood beams that emerge at an angle from between the two levels. An invisible modern addition that helps keep the villa cool is heat reflecting material that lies under the roof tiles.

The driving concept behind the design of these houses and surrounding property is to provide the home owner with optimum space both inside the house and in the lush tropical gardens. Looking out over the sea is about as expansive as a view can get, further enhancing the feeling of openness and affiliation with the elements.

Each three bedroom unit is cleverly designed to act like two adjoined villas so that privacy is guaranteed, even if the occupants are a large family or guests come to stay.

Privacy is also ensured in the homes with the maids' and drivers' quarters being located in their own complex away from the main villas.

Each villa has its own garden and boundaries of tropical flora with 5 metres between each house. There are also extensive common grounds behind the properties that are maintained and cared for through the combined contributions of the property owners, who collectively decide on how it is managed. Villa owners are responsible for their own electricity and water supplies while electricity and water for the common grounds falls under the gardens' maintenance contract.

Foreign buyers will be given assistance by Panache property in handling translations and legal requirements enabling a foreigner to reside for an extended period.

One immediately attractive point for potential buyers is that properties are sold as freehold so there is no future concern over land and property ownership rights. For owners who may spend long periods away, their property and grounds will be looked after by the permanent caretaking staff of the resort. As an alternative, home owners are free to rent out their homes while they are not there.

The five units, two of which have already been constructed, share a large 40 metre, infinite edge swimming pool and over 50 metres of private beach on a total land area of 1044 square wah. The swimming pool is an innovative design, stretching virtually the width of the front of the property and offering enough space for all to enjoy.

This secluded part of Cha-Am in Petchburi, 150 Km from Bangkok, has been mercifully left relatively untouched in the rush to modernize the area; leaving an oasis of tranquility on the water front.. Modern facilities like the local hospital and a Big C department store are close by, with the central town area and main road being less than 20 km away.

The developer, Panache property started out as a furnishing and interior design company, designing and producing high quality furnishings with a unique blend of modern-antique Thai and European style opulence. This is an added bonus for buyers who don't have the time or energy to invest in the daunting task of having to furnish and decorate a new property.

Panache, as the name suggests, has all the flair and style necessary to fill your property with the furnishings and trimmings needed to create a home that has a spark of modern originality mixed with traditional elegance.
